Gaze Cooper, though not really for this forum has Pf cto no. 3 and last mvt of pf cto 4 listenable here for those interested: https://archive.org/details/pogonyi-cds?tab=collection&query=walter+gaze+cooper]https://archive.org/details/pogonyi-cds?

Latvian radio itself keeps their broadcasts available after the concerts, at least a month I think. Latvian radio 3:

Also World Concert Hall is wonderful, and Orchestra On Demand also offers archived broadcasts from quite a few orchestras.

More music of Burkhard even if not romantic music. https://neo.mx3.ch/home/search?q=willy+burkhard

Thanks to Wheesh for the directions to the Kaun concert. I can't say i was blown away but I wouldn't mind hearing more, maybe his piano concertos. There are mp3s here of part of his Pf cto here, I think it is live piano with synth orchestra.https://imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Concerto_No.2,_Op.115_(Kaun,_Hugo)

Gosh, now I am terrified to listen to it! Thanks for the warning!

If I remember correctly someone had interest in a concert of Bruckner's students' orchestral music and I got it off a broadcast I stumbled across. Here is the Mediafire folder if anyone wants to hear Kralik's violin concerto and her Hymnische Sinfonie.https://www.mediafire.com/folder/dubesavh1tfxb/Mathilde_Kralik
I don't know if it meets the forum's criteria or not.

Thank you Mark for this tip, I was inspired to follow up on your post and I also found Mongeroult's piano works wonderful, (and then the evil acquisitive imp shows up and says wouldn't it be nice if there was a piano concerto hidden somewhere)! In the meantime, the etudes and sonatas are lovely and I plan to listen to them all. Typically I go for big music like orchestral and chorus and orchestra, but it is nice to settle back a little and just relax and enjoy some elemental sounds.

I would like to hear Josef Labor's contributions--he was recently mentioned on here, he wrote chamber music and at least 3 Konzertstucke for "linke" hand, and maybe more. Wittgenstein turned to Labor for his first commission (not sure what resulted), Labor having been a longtime family friend as well as one of his teachers.

Yes! Way back in the seventies I just happened to turn the radio on right when this was about to be played and I captured it on cassette tape, has since those opening notes been one of my most memorable piano concerto favorites

Taneyev No.2 one of my favorites even if finished by someone else. I can barely stay in my seat during the last movement!

Joachim wrote several, premiered Brahms I think, Herzogenberg wrote one and a Rondo for vn and orch, Brahms discounted him until late in life when he said "Herzogenberg is able to do more than any of the others." (wiki). I am not in a position to put myself down for not listening only to "masterpieces".

I bought every Michael Ponti Candide/Vox LP I could find, agree the orchestras sometime not up his talent, but otherwise we might not even know about some of the composers whose music he played. I can listen to a poor recording if there is no other way to hear a piece that interests me.

Fritz Volbach
,,Königskinder"

Fritz Volbach
Sinfonie h-Moll op. 33


Sinfonieorchester Münster
Leitung: Golo Berg

Aufnahme vom 29. Januar 2019 aus dem Theater Münster

Der Komponist Fritz Volbach lehrte ab 1918 an der Universität Münster und war bis 1925 auch Musikdirektor und Leiter des Musikvereins dieser Stadt, bis er 1929 emeritiert wurde. 1919 hat er das Sinfonieorchester Münster gegründet. Dazu brachte er schon einiges an Erfahrung mit, hatte er doch während des Ersten Weltkriegs im besetzten Belgien mit Fritz Brandt unter den Besatzern in Brüssel ein deutsches Sinfonieorchester ins Leben gerufen. Die Bedingungen in Münster waren deutlich besser und halfen Volbach dabei, zu einer der zentralen Figuren in der Musikgeschichte der Stadt zu werden.

The composer Fritz Volbach taught from 1918 at the University of Münster and until 1925 also music director and conductor of the music club of this city, until he retired in 1929. In 1919 he founded the Sinfonieorchester Münster. In addition he brought quite some experience, because he had created during the First World War in occupied Belgium with Fritz Brandt under the occupiers in Brussels a German symphony orchestra to life. The conditions in Münster were significantly better and helped Volbach to become one of the central figures in the music history of the city.

Hans Pfitzer: Von deutscher Seele
Cohesive, beautiful choral sound, touches my soul.

I like it, too, wish I was made of money so we could get an orchestral recording done. Stands alone very well, though. Thanks.
